Maddie and Jack hurt Danny during a fight for the first time.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11, Part 12

The idea for this part came from The Full Catastrophe on FFN. Thanks!

-----

"Which way did he go?” shouted Maddie.

Jack looked at her. The orange lenses of her goggles hid her eyes from him, but her ruby lips underneath were puckered in a determined frown.

“He couldn’t have gotten far,” said Jack, scanning the streets for his son’s familiar aura. He spoke again in a lower voice, “You’re tracking him, right?”

“Don’t break character, he could be nearby,” Maddie murmured harshly, her lips barely moving as she discreetly checked her tracking scanner.

“Well, is he?” whispered Jack with a bite of his own.

Maddie gave him a warning look before saying more loudly, “Let’s check over there.”

Jack followed Maddie as she started walking. She soundlessly held up a scanner in front of his face, and Jack could see that they were walking toward Danny’s location.

“Are you sure you want to go this way?” Jack asked in a loud voice, trying to hint his confusion to Maddie. Why were they headed toward Danny? Wouldn’t she rather let him get away from them without trouble?

“Yes, I’m sure,” said Maddie. “I thought I heard something coming from this direction.”

Maddie gave him a harsh look to stop questioning her and just follow her lead. Jack sighed and ran after her. This whole thing really was more her experiment than his anyway. Whatever she wanted to do, he just had to go along with it.

Although he couldn’t deny that their findings so far had been exciting. And having a specimen living with them in their own home was certainly convenient.

One car drove by as they headed down the street along the sidewalk, but the area was otherwise quiet, illuminated by a few very yellow streetlamps.

Jack checked the time on his watch. “He really just stopped caring about curfew after he became a ghost, didn’t he?”

“He chose to be a superhero that fights ghosts,” said Maddie. “Ghosts are more active at night.”

Maddie stopped abruptly and silently pointed down an alley between two buildings. She pressed herself against the wall and peered around the corner. Jack stood close to her to get a good look as well.

Danny was squaring off against a tiger ghost covered in spiky fur charged with electrical ghostly energy. The tiger lunged at Danny, throwing him into the chain-link fence at the back of the alley. Danny was down on the ground for only a moment before springing back up and firing a ghost ray.

“Amazing that he’s not even scared,” said Jack. “All fight.”

“He gets that from me,” said Maddie. “Plus his fighting skills. He needs to tighten up that form, though.” Maddie sighed and shook her head as she continued watching him. “Come on, Danny. I paid good money for those martial arts classes.”

The tiger pinned Danny to the ground and raised a paw, claws out, fur bristling.

Jack fingered the trigger of his ecto-gun. “Maddie, maybe we should—”

Maddie held up a hand to quiet him. Jack promptly shut his mouth and relaxed his hold on his gun.

The tiger brought down its paw in a quick swipe, clawing open Danny’s cheek. Ectoplasm oozed from the fresh wounds as Danny cried out.

Jack sucked his teeth. “Mads—”

“Give him a chance, Jack.”

The tiger raised its paw again. Danny lay beneath it, clutching his face and looking stunned.

“Maddie, come on,” said Jack, giving her a stern but pleading look.

Maddie sighed and aimed her gun, pulling the trigger and blasting the tiger with a bright green ray of ectoplasm. The tiger howled and sailed into the chain-link fence, rattling it.

“Why didn’t you want to do that before he got clawed?” asked Jack.

“I’m interested in seeing how quickly he’ll heal from it.” Maddie cocked her head. “Aren’t you?”

Jack froze, unsure how to answer that. He only moved when Maddie led the way into the alley.

Danny was still on the ground, sitting up on his forearms and staring at the tiger dizzily rising to its feet next to the fence. He turned to face Jack and Maddie as they ran up to him.

“I thought I lost you,” he said, grunting as he pushed himself off the ground to stand.

“You thought wrong,” said Maddie, charging her gun and aiming it right at him.

Danny raised his hands up by his head. “Listen, I’m not—”

The tiger roared and started lunging toward him. Jack grabbed his Thermos and sucked the ghost inside in a burst of light before it could lay another claw on Danny.

Maddie glared at him, her bottom lip pushing up in a disapproving pout. Jack glared back. She wasn’t just expecting him to let their son be mauled, was she?

With his hands still up, Danny took a couple steps back. “Okay, threat’s gone, so I’ll just be on my way.”

“You’re not going anywhere, ghost,” said Maddie, advancing toward him.

Jack held up the Thermos, shaking it. “You’re coming with us.”

Danny retreated a couple more steps until his back hit the chain-link fence. “Thanks for the invitation, but I’m already out way past my curfew, so—”

Maddie fired a blast, which hit the fence right next to his head. He staggered a few steps to the side, staring at the patch of burnt metal the blast left behind.

“Okay, your objection is noted.” Danny’s voice squeaked. “But can’t I have any say in this?”

Maddie fired again, this time hitting his knee. Danny yelled and dropped to the ground, clutching it.

Jack dropped his jaw and stared at Maddie. Her eyes were fixed on Danny.

“Now, Jack,” said Maddie. “Don’t let our specimen get away.”

Jack looked down at his Thermos, then her again. She couldn’t possibly want him to actually capture their son. She hadn’t told him this part of her scheme for the evening.

Danny gasped and stood again, hopping on his uninjured leg until he was back against the fence again. This time, he phased through the fence.

Maddie ran up to the fence and linked her gloved fingers through the chain links. She gritted her teeth and scowled at him. “Coward.”

“I don’t want to fight you,” said Danny, pleading.

Maddie pressed the barrel of her gun against the fence. Danny hopped another couple steps before launching into the air in a streak of light, vanishing himself. Jack and Maddie both stared up at the sky where they saw him last.

“I’m surprised he hung around that long,” said Maddie, shutting off her gun.

Jack turned to her, his tongue sputtering in his mouth as he tried to get his words out. “You shot him!”

“I had to show him we were serious,” said Maddie with a shrug.

“But you shot him! Like actually hurt him!”

“Just his leg, Jack. He’ll heal just fine. At worst, he’ll have a limp.”

“But you—”

“Danny knows how serious we are about our research. It would’ve been suspicious if we went too easy on him. He has to believe that we have absolutely no idea who he really is.”

Jack exhaled loudly as tremors gripped his upper body.

“But it’s interesting that he admitted to having a curfew,” said Maddie, looking up at the sky again. “Not sure if that was a slip or if he just figured we wouldn’t possibly understand what that really meant.”

She pulled out her scanner, reading the display. Jack did not come closer to try to read it himself.

“Looks like he’s heading home,” said Maddie. “Good. He has that math test tomorrow; he really needs to get some sleep. I might have to hire a tutor if he fails again.”

Maddie began walking out of the alley. Jack stared after her.

“Coming, Jack?”

Jack shook himself out of his trance and followed her.

2021 Round Up~

Wow there were some really cool events and prompts this year. I tried to tag everything and everyone I could think of so credit can go where it's due. Let me know if I missed any because I'm low-key exhausted but I wanted to get it done quickly.

Under the cut is a list of everything I did in 2021 for the Danny Phandom. There are some Ao3 links that lead to cleaned up versions of my (favored) fics if you're into that so feel free to sub to Acesymmetricfool on Ao3 for more as I get them tidy or I'll just reblog them as I go anyway.

Here on tumblr, I have my main blog @another-shameless-fangirl and my writing sideblog or check the tags "#asf writes" or "#asf wrote a thing" for more.

Thanks for the support I've gotten from people here, it really does mean so much!

It's mostly angst and drama. How about I tag what isn't. Enjoy~

Trick (362) -Ectober @ectoberhaunt Danny's secret is out. This ghost has tricked everyone into thinking it's little Danny Fenton. Luckily his parents know better than to trust a monster.

Laugh- Ao3 link -Ectober

What do people actually think about Phantom? We'd like to think of him as a friend with a nice laugh.

Glitter - Ao3 link (731) -Ectober

Glittering snow appears wherever Phantom does. There was a beauty in the way Phantom felt pain.

Fairy Circle (1166) -Ectober -dramatic with classmates

Danny isn't interested in this nature hike, especially when his friends are back at camp with another group and he's stuck with Dash and some other people. When they find a fairy circle in a clearing, Danny knows the stories and to stay away. Dash doesn't believe him and maybe there is a price to pay.

Twilight (660) -Ectober -oh no what happened in Fairy Circle

Fenton better not be pulling a fast one about that fairy circle business. Dash rationalizes the events of Fairy Circle in what is basically chapter 2 and is awaiting a third chapter.

Swamp- Ao3 link (3225) -Ectober (Horror)

Fenton Works wasn't always a weapons manufacturer. The Fenton's were paranormal investigators. Field studies were done, measurements were taken, tests performed. It was a family business that searched for proof of ghosts. One night, they finally found it. If only their 6-year-old wasn't sleeping in the backseat.

Poison - Ao3 link (428) -Ectober

Danny Phantom was going to be the end of Amity Park as we knew it.

Mask- Ao3 link (640) -Ectober There wasn’t a time after the accident that Danny felt he could be himself. He had a loving family, friends who adored him, a public whose opinion varied on his performance, but he couldn’t bring himself to present all that he was to any of them. So Danny started to wear masks.

Condemned (420) -Ectober

Danny Phantom was a menace at best, at worst an upheaval of the natural order of things. Danny knew better than anyone this sentence was for the best.

Headstone (2434) -Ectober

Why did he have to be remembered? Why didn’t they want him anymore? Did they all wish him a safe passing to the afterlife? What did he do wrong to make all them want him gone?

He was a hero for them wasn’t he?

Insomnia- Ao3 link (1018) -Ectober

What was a little lost sleep if staying awake meant he could keep his city safe?

A Wish List for Danny- Ao3 link (763) -12 Days of Ficmas (Fluff) @12daysficmas

Danny's been so busy fighting ghosts, he forgot to make himself a Wish List before the holidays started and he just doesn't have it in him anymore. Good thing he has two best friends who love him.

With a Little Help- Ao3 Link (645)- 12 Days of Ficmas (Fluff)

Star Thunder has her life together school-wise. It isn't really her problem if Fenton's is falling apart. Lucky for him, Foley comes to plead mercy.

Call me Grandma Ida- Ao3 link (1541) 12 Days of Ficmas (Fluff)

“I don’t eat. I’m a ghost.” Ida Manson could have believed him if it weren’t for his voice or his face or the way his hands moved. She smiled at the ghost boy. “You’ve got a mouth, don't ya?”

She Knew Those Eyes- Ao3 link (2788)- Truce gift for @faedemon / @moipale

Jazz didn’t know as much about ghosts. She didn’t have powers or experience but she was willing to learn and help any way she could. Danny might not want to tell her about every rough time, but the important thing was that he trusted her to be there on the really bad days.

When her brother's skittish clone introduced herself, Jazz braced herself for what could be a very bad night indeed.

A Real Connection- Ao3 link (822)(Cracky fluff) @floralflowerpower

When Danny Fenton is spotted being carried home by the friendly Phantom, the Citizens of Amity Park can't help but wonder what their connection is. The consensus, despite any objections from Fenton, is that it is so very real.

Electric Duet (669) A duet with @floralflowerpower, prompt by @coolclaytony

Maddie experiments with Phantom's aversion to electricity and makes a dire mistake.

This is Only the Beginning- Ao3 link (1581) @danphanwritingprompts

Danny learns the hard way what Vlad already knew. They were both immortal and every human they cared about would die.

You Were Supposed to Be Our Uncle Vlad (1348) @danphanwritingprompts

Clockwork has his reasons when he shows Danny another alternate future. A single second could have made all the difference. Uncle Vlad would have been family.

My Eyes Were Blue (1021)- prompt by @dannyphantompromptgenerator and @all-out-disney

Danny finds out what happened to Sidney Poindexter.

Checking up on the boy (311) Kinda related to My Eyes Were Blue Prompt by @danphanwritingprompts

“Ma’am, you don’t understand. There’s nobody named Sidney Poindexter currently attending this school.”

Conviction (2083)- prompt by @amabsis

This time, instead of making a weapon to hurt ghosts, the Fenton's make a weapon that allows them to “get their feelings back”. Problem is they already have them, so what happens when you take an already emotional ghost teen and amplify it by 10?

Team Work Makes the Dream Work- (1424)- Cracky fun- prompt by @reallydumbdannyphantomaus

kwan: don't look now but we've shifted to another reality again

dash: fuck!!!!! shit!!!!! no!!!!!

kwan: i mean i know it sucks but it's happened before it'll be fine

dash: no idiot we've got an away game tonight how are we supposed to get to brantford from another reality??

kwan: đŸ˜±

kwan: we're gonna have to forfeit!

dash: not on my watch

Thanks so much!

I know it's popular to portray Danny has having scars and all, that's fine by me.

But considering Ghost Regeneration in the series is busted (like they regenerate from nearly everything) image just Danny shrugging immensely fatal injuries and be like "well that's annoying" everytime while everyone else freaks out.

Hey I'm new to the Danny Phantom fandom and I need some good fics. Got any good recommends?

First off, welcome to the fandom! And hon, I /got/ you. 

Flu Shot: https://archiveofourown.org/works/20513513/chapters/48684473 (Sorry it’s not letting me put in links properly?? Anyway.) Unashamed self-advertisement, basically Danny finds out there is a more civilized part of the ghost zone and things go crazy from there. 

How to Summon Eldritch Entities with Strawberry Jam by In_The_Ghost_Mode: https://archiveofourown.org/works/14146716 Summary; Listen, Danny didn’t ask for a summoning circle, alright? And if he’s going to get called at any time and place, he might as well wear whatever he wants, including arriving in his human form in his favorite PJs. Got it? Good. 

Beyond Beasts by CatalystOfTheSoul: https://archiveofourown.org/works/8388307/chapters/19217140 Summary: Danny’s abilities are getting less reliable by the minute, Tucker can barely keep up with damage control, and it doesn’t help that Dash decided to tag along. There’s something fishy about this vacation, and it’s not the lake. The forest is playing tricks, water is appearing in places it shouldn’t, and there’s a vacancy expected at Algernon’s Summer Camp for Boys. (Dear reader, this is by-all-means intended as a ghost story for ghosts. Proceed with caution.) How You've 

Changed by: thatgirl_youknowtheone: https://archiveofourown.org/works/11440641 Summary: Danny wasn’t a ghost, at least, not a ghost pretending to be their child. He was
 he was still their child. He was just, wrong. 

Shots Fired by RedHeadsRock1010: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16015694 Summary: School shooter meet Danny Fenton. Vlad Masters does not get paid enough to deal with this. (On a personal note this obviously has a school shooting but it has gallows humor so it’s not, straight-up traumatic but heads up and proceed with caution) 

It’s Like Time Stops by anthrop: https://archiveofourown.org/works/1569932 Summary: Danny though, Danny was as average as anybody. He was nice (if a bit snarky), clever (if a bit naive), and once puberty stopped stretching him like a rubber band he might even be handsome one day. But then, not even halfway through his first semester at Casper High, Danny Fenton changed. 

Silvertongue by proximally: https://archiveofourown.org/works/4044955 Summary: According to his friends and family, Danny is a terrible liar. Truth is, he’s lying about that. 

Bloodsucker by: S.N. Rainsworth: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7225350/1/Bloodsucker Summary: A few misconceptions causes the student population of Casper High to take a guess at the mystery that is Danny Fenton. 

Phantom of Truth by: HaiJu: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7476808/1/Phantom-of-Truth Summary: Locked away in a secret government lab with Phantom as her subject, nothing stands between Maddie and the truth
 except, perhaps, herself. (Personal note, this is a phandom favorite, and while I should have had read it, I, in fact, did not) 

Shadow of a Doubt by: HaiJu: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9683169/1/Shadow-of-a-Doubt Summary: The truth was supposed to save Danny. Fix things. The lab, the experiments, the lies, those were all in the past. Weren’t they? Sequel to Phantom of Truth. 

What Little Girls Are Made Of by: HaiJu: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11592126/1/What-Little-Girls-Are-Made-Of Summary: Phantom and his younger double save Amity Park from a monstrous ghost, nearly destroying themselves in the process. The Fentons have always hunted ghosts; now it’s time to save one. 

Green Jacket, Red Sleeves by: LunarMothim: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9117967/1/Green-Jacket-Red-Sleeves Summary: Two secrets: Danny’s mysterious injury and Phantom’s bizarre ectosignature. In her quest to find the answers to both, Maddie finds out more than she could ever have anticipated. Revelation fic, no PP 

Running Blind by: Dejah Thoris of Mars: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3049214/1/Running-Blind Summary: Crossover with CSI. Something supernatural is killing people in Las Vegas
 and it all seems to lead back to a fifteenyearold runaway named Danny Fenton. 

A Different Sort of House Call by: Hornswaggler: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6481092/2/A-Different-Sort-of-House-Call Summary: House’s new case is a little tougher to diagnose, primarily because the patient should be, quite literally, already dead. A continuation of AnneriaWings’ Lab Rat 

Everything Was White by: lexosaurus: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16467191/chapters/38565494 Summary: After being accidentally revealed to the public and taken away by the government, Danny deals with the aftermath of his time with the GiW. 

You Should Be Dead by: SaphireDragon11: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9375525/1/You-Should-Be-Dead Summary: Dash and Kwan are horrified to discover they’ve accidentally killed their classmate, but perhaps even more so when he shows up at school the next day. With his secret on the line, Danny soon discovers Dash and Kwan are the least of his worries. A 

Snapping Sound by: Represent: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11535920/1/A-Snapping-Sound Summary: COMPLETE — “You’re new Sam, so you don’t know. This will be the only warning you get. Don’t trust your eyes or you’ll be tricked. Nobody in Amity is who they seem. Nobody.” (personal note, another clasic of the phandom) 

Dead Man’s Blood by anthrop: https://archiveofourown.org/works/991204 Summary: “Pfah! What good’re cops in a town like this?” The old man waves dismissively. “Nah, Phantom’ll take care of things, same as he always does.” Dean pauses in fishing out his wallet. “Phantom? Who’s Phantom?” 

we are all walking each other home by anthrop: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16007549 Summary: Danny’s eyes flare. “What?” “Nothing,” Tucker says quickly, because he has a healthy sense of self-preservation and respect for the stupid amount of super strength and speed Danny’s got in ghost mode. “It’s just weird to see Phantom look so casual,” Sam drawls, because her favorite thing in the world is to push a guy’s buttons when he’s already down, apparently. 

when the sun burns out by: anthrop: https://archiveofourown.org/works/5594869 Summary: “Storm?” Vlad scoffs. “This is no mere storm bearing down on us. He has opened a door, and He’s stepping through it now. He will reach down from beyond the stars to pluck you and I out of our weak meat with neither fuss nor flair. Don’t you see it, Daniel? We’re finally going to die.” 

feel the outside turning in By: anthrop: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12292512/1/feel-the-outside-turning-in Summary: You remember falling out of the portal, and the dizzying twist in perception as you watched yourself fall. You watched the awful jitter of your body’s limbs, writhing like a dying insect, your white jumpsuit burnt black and smoking. You watched Sam and Tucker stagger away, the flashing lights carving terror deep into their faces. (personal note, It’s actually still Danny’s perspective but 2nd person is used) 

Ghost speak; the Teacher By: @phantomrose96 http://phantomrose96.tumblr.com/post/45888938801/ghost-speak-the-teacher Summary: Danny slips into ghost speak and Lancer, Like the good teacher he is, tries to translate 

From Ashes to Ashes by: @phantomrose96 http://phantomrose96.tumblr.com/post/74683295739/from-the-ashes Summary: Danny becomes less and less himself in the worst way possible From Ashes to 

Ashes (Part 2) by: @phantomrose96 http://phantomrose96.tumblr.com/post/92381491182/from-the-ashes-part-2 Summary: It’s Part 2 I aint gonna spoil it 

A Ghost Story By: Cordria: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11590571/1/A-Ghost-Story Summary: Maddie finds a strange toy airplane in a field, and it leads her to learning some very interesting things about her family. A spooky oneshot to celebrate the dead.

Some Danny Phantom/DC crossover thoughts

So I love these kinds of crossovers, and they vary just because of the different kind of series and canons that exist. And I have very basic knowledge regarding a lot of DC related topics and characters but we all know Batman and usually that’s enough. There’s good Justice League intervening and finding a small ghost child somehow keeping godly creatures of chaos in order with a mere glare, there’s teen titans and Danny interactions, there’s a lot of Danny’s friends and family dying and him getting adopted into these groups, basically you can find so much content.

One of my FAVOURITE concepts is the whole ‘Danny is Batman’s son’, which my favourite execution of it is The Phantom and the Knight by savya398 on Archive of our Own! Why is this my favourite? Why not a ‘Danny is Richard Graysons twin/lost brother? Because Dick is a nice dude, maybe getting serious from time to time but generally? He’s a good bro, makes me think of Jazz and Danny’s relationship.

Now Danny as Batman’s son? Well this has many implications. And my favourite is this makes DAMIEN Danny’s brother. Literal demon spawn finds out he has a brother and it’s DANNY. This child of pure chaos would not be impressed at all with this scrawny, c student mess. How dare this sorry excuse of a teen even be considered in being related to him! Or the great Batman!! The pure feral sibling bonds are to die for.

Even better is that this fic DOESN’T kill everyone off. Which I enjoy very greatly!! So yeah, if you like crossovers between Danny Phantom and Justice league where they don’t kill everyone Danny knows off, this is a good fic!! And while I’m at it, I’m gonna recommend some other really great Danny Phantom/DC fics!

The Meddling Jerkwad League by StrawberryCamel

A series that has the Justice League accidentally medaling while Danny and Tucker slowly finds less reasons not to strangle them all. It’s funny and entertaining!

Ghost Kings and Gotham Bats by BlueGhostCardinal

This is a good one. Phantom gets caught up in Gotham stuff, Danny gets mistaken as Damien, Bruce wants to adopt him naturally, everyone thinks he’s a clone or lost twin or something, and while we are at it, there’s a lot of established ghost lore!! King Danny heck yeah!! As well as the classic batfamily banter!

And so it Ghost by Evandarya

This one has Vlad as Danny’s guardian and Danny looks into getting into collage in Gotham! Of course it goes wrong and attracts the attention of the Batfam as they try to figure out what is going on with this kid that knew a little too much about the villain that attacked.

Operation I’m Totally 300 by I_Am_Toast

This one. Is hilarious I love this fic. It’s just Danny trying to convince the young justice league that he’s an old wise ghost based on the recorded appearances he has of himself in the past. We all know Danny just sucks at improv and so shenanigans are ensued.

Dressed for Death by Nohvarrs

Another great one, Danny ends up in John Constantine’s house and then he can’t seem to stop showing up wherever he goes. Danny’s problems only get more annoying when the Justice League tries to find out who he was before his death.

So yeah! Superheroes and Danny Phantom! I’m a big sucker for Danny Phantom crossovers. Especially since this child is ridiculously OP. He’s like an invasive species. He is a basic teen hero in Amity because he faces people and enemies that have very specialized weapons that can affect him. You drop him anywhere else? Almost nothing can touch him and he’s basically One Punch Man. Amazing.

Danny Phantom Comics Rec List

While my own comic project “The Mistake” is on hiatus (you could read the prologue on Tumblr here and on A3O here) I will make a “long comics” rec post because maybe you saw it I love comics 💚 and I believe artists with so much passion need exposure and cheering

By @alieaself|phantomtype, DoppelgĂ€nger (completed), do I really need to present this masterpiece ? Incredible Dan & futur!Vlad’s story and development, incredible art style with big vision and quality. Big art influence for me.

By @krossan, Legendary Destination (on going), do I really need to present this too ? Sequel of Phantom Planet, new story, new lore, new characters, old characters
 Krossan is a pillar in the fandom. Each of their piece of art reek talent, hard work and passion, this comic it not an exception.

By @ghost-chicky-blog|@kennymayovo, Ectober Comic (on going) (TW: blood and gore), spooky story, it develops my feral!Vlad hc. One of my first meeting with the creativity of the fandom and one artist that greatly influenced my art style. I will always deeply respect chicky who did so much for the Phandom and is an amazing artist.

By @promsien, Monsters Born (completed) (TW: blood), a Danny&Vlad bonding and action comic. Though they didn’t draw Danny Phantom anymore, I just can’t forget this one. Promsien is an incredible artist whose influence greatly shape the Phandom today. Another big art influence for me.

By @ep-10, Amity Thereafter (ongoing), I already reblogged a lot of ep-10â€Čs posts so it’s not a secret that I love this comic :D Sequel of Phantom Planet and give a satisfactory continuity to a weak canon ending, but shonen style!! The panelling is very good and seriously gave me physical goosebumps several time, not even joking.

By @rekkaroonii, DPAUcomic (on going), sequel of Phantom Planet, older!Danny is dealing with the mental horrors of not feeling as human anymore. Please admire the work of somebody who knows exactly what they’re doing and how to tame a comic page like it’s nothing.

By @catesartworks​, Phantom in the Mirror (on going), first timeline of “The Ultimate Enemy”. The style and texture is magical, and catsartworks is a magician who just- just- mastered the art of paneling and art symbolism. I haven’t other words to describe it, a pure black diamond in the desert.

By joe-the-hoe, Archetype (completed) (TW: body horror and gore), AU I can’t really explain without spoils, just read it. A bit weak for the art in the beginning, but with the pages we see how much the artist improve over the years and it’s beautiful. The comic, THIS comic, is what shaped my liking for horror genre and awake my love for those kind of dp fics. I’m not kidding, this one is my favorite, my GOAL in term of art style, story, panelling and comic quality, and my fav piece of fandom’s work (with Darker Yet Darker by Sansybones).

By Kuro the Artist, 5 Year Later (on going), 5 years after Phantom Planet, crossover between Ben 10 and Danny Phantom. I don’t very like crossovers, but this deserves a big look. Kuro is another amazing artist and a very kind heart, give it a try if you want to see the clash between 2 different universe from 2 different cartoon channels.

Asleep In The Keep-Chapter 9

DPxMHA crossover Fic

Chapter 9: Breaking News!

Summary: Although the Hero Commission was not able to suppress the knowledge of the vigilante ‘Phantom’, they were still able to multiplate the information surrounding him by releasing fake articles and bribing/restricting news sources, so as not to worry the public.

Word Count: 1052

BREAKING NEWS: League of Villains reveals themself and attack Hosu, leaving countless injured. Thanks to the heroes, there have been no reported deaths. Stain, the infamous hero killer that has been terrorizing the streets of Japan, has finally been caught by #2 hero Endeavor during the panic. 

BREAKING NEWS: Three creatures called ‘Nomus’ were captured last night and are now being studied by the Hero Comisson. Origins are unknown but are believed to come from the League of Villains. If you have any information, please contact 1-800-NOMU or the Hero Commission directly. 

BREAKING NEWS: Vigilante rates skyrocket after Hosu attacks. Witness from the Nomu attacks describe white haired teen saved them. Other reports describe the same figure. Could this be a new vigilante group or something else?

BREAKING NEWS: New vigilante group or freak of nature? The vigilante group, which has been given the name ‘Phantom’ due to their quirks and mysterious nature, have caused experts to scratch their heads. Some witnesses say there was only one vigilante on site with multiple quirks while others insist it was at least 3. Which is true? Read here to hear what the experts have to say. 

BREAKING NEWS: Quirk researchers debunk existence of individuals with multiple quirks. ‘This is a dangerous misconception,’ says quirk expert Yanagimachi Tsuneko. ‘Sometimes, especially as we see the power of quirks grow with each generation, children inherit both of their parents quirks, or they combine to create an entirely new quirk but never more than two
’ CLICK HERE TO READ FULL INTERVIEW.

~—*—*—~

Trending: "Stain" "Endeavor" "Hosu Riots" “Phantom” & “Vigilante Group” 

In a public group chat online:

Mirkosthighs: Have you heard of the new vigilante group?

Nighteyemorelikeayeayeaye @Mirkosthighs: The ones who rescued a bunch of people yesterday?

FriedHawkWings @Mirkosthighs: Group? I thought it was only one guy?

Mirkosthighs @FriedHawkWings: No. All the news outlets are saying it's a group of vigilantes

FriedHawkWings @Mirkosthighs: What no way! Everyone is describing the same dude in interviews

Ghostwatermelon:>  @FriedHawkWings: It’s gotta b a group! They all have diff quirks! An how could 1guy b in all those places at 1nce?

Knight34knight43 @Ghostwatermelon:>: He could have just a speed quirk so it seemed he was everywhere at once

Mirkosthighs @Knight34knight43: Yeah? And also have cold manipulation and flight and enhanced strength?

Knight34knight43 @Mirkosthighs: Well


#6bmybbygrl @Mirkosthighs: My friend was one of the people he saved. She said he used multiple quirks. 

Ghostwatermelon:> @#6bmybbygrl: O pls. 1 of em prob just has a vers quirk. I wont beleave it til I c it!

#6bmybbygrl @Ghostwatermelon:>: My friend took one but every time it played her phone got all buggy

L3G3GG @#6bmybbygrl: Yeah I was there 2 and the same thing happened to mine

“L3G3GG” MADE A NEW POST:

Video Link: The video shows a fire spreading and people screaming in the background. The camera suddenly zooms around and then the video starts to glitch, the sound and visual becoming static or pixelated. The visuals stop glitching and faces the person recording but the sound is jumbled. 

[POST DELETED]

“Mirkosthighs” REPOSTED A LINK:

BREAKING NEWS: Hero Commission has confirmed the existence of the rumored “Phantoms” vigilante group. 

Ghostwatermelon:> @Mirkosthighs: See! I new it was a group! No way was it just some kid

Leaguereference @Mirkosthighs: Yeah that makes no sense. What quirk would even do that?

Mirkosthighs @Mirkosthighs: I read the whole article. It says they already have possible leads to one of their identities.

FeralGangOrca @Mirkosthighs: I heard a theory that it's a family, that's why they all look the same

Ghostwatermelon:> @FeralGangOrca: Yeah TONS of pple have white hair or they couldve dyed it. And no 1was able to get a good look at their faces! 

GenshinreferenceUwU @Mirkosthighs: Man I’m so excited for when they catch them! Could you imagine if they televised the trail?! 

Knight34knight43 @GenshinreferenceUwU: I feel bad for the kids tho
They obviously just wanted to be heroes

Nighteyemorelikeayeayeaye @Knight34knight43 : Who knows, maybe if they get lucky they get picked up by a pro after they get out of jail

Knight34knight43 @Nighteyemorelikeayeayeaye : I hate our vigilante laws :(

Mirkosthighs @Knight34knight43: Not everyone can be a hero. There has to be rules in place otherwise more people could get hurt

Leaguereference @Mirkosthighs: Apparently Endeavor caught the Hero Killer and one of the Phantoms was in the area

Mirkosthighs @Leaguereference : No way?!

FriedHawkWings @ Mirkosthighs : Wasn’t Stain a part of the LOV?

GenshinreferenceUwU @ FriedHawkWings : Do you think they’re all in kahoots?

Ghostwatermelon:> @GenshinreferenceUwU: Ridiculous! Utterly Ridiculous! The Phantoms were trying to save every1 if they were rlly w/LOV y not spread out and cause more havoc? Why not help out Stain?

Knight34knight43 @GenshinreferenceUwU: Something doesn’t make sense about all this


Nighteyemorelikeayeayeaye @Knight34knight43: Well yeah. The hero commission is probably hiding everything for the investigation 

FriedHawkWings @ Knight34knight43 : They’re prob keeping it all classified til they find the kids

đŸ«¶

Tomura was pissed! Papers, blogs the TV! All they talked about was STAIN! STAIN! STAIN! They didn’t even make the first page! They were hardly a footnote! If that wasn’t enough, some brat had defeated TWO of his Nomus
 Apparently he was some hero wanna be. 

He scratched at his neck. He hated them. Hate. Hate. Hate. 

There were a few articles about him too, less than 5, though you had to dig for them, almost as if they were trying to get buried
 But they were there and despite being hidden, they caused almost as much buzz as Stain


They all said that he was part of some ‘vigilante group’, but Tomura knew better. There was a video online, it was only up for a couple minutes before it and the channel got deleted. The person who took it was either a shit photographer or the video was beyond salvaging. The video was grainy, less than 144p, and all sorts of corrupted, but it showed the brat taking down a Nomu, displaying several different quirks as he fled. 

Cheater! Cheater! Cheater! They weren’t supposed to have a tank like that! His scratching became more intense. The game wasn’t going how it was supposed to! He banged the bar table, but it left no dent in the hardwood. It was so unfair


The TV buzzed to life, relieving the disfigured face of his teacher. “Tomura,” the voice spoke in static, “I have a new task for you.”

Asleep In The Keep-Chapter 5

DPxMHA crossover Fic

Chapter 5: Panic in Townsquare

Summary: Danny runs into two Nomus

Word Count: 2336

Danny didn’t know what he did to make the hero so mad. The hero tried to hide it, but Danny could tell. He was walking faster, his hands clenched, his smile a little too forceful. He no longer smiled at Danny like he did when their conversation first started. Maybe the social norms were different here. Maybe it's just this guy’s problem. 

“So, what’s your quirk?” The noise was sudden like a gunshot, Danny almost missed what he said.  

“My quirk? I mean I guess I like space and stuff, but I don’t think it’s that weird.” What type of person asks someone that when they just met?  

“No.” He sounded final, “Your power. What is it?” The man's eyes bore into Danny again. It was like when they first met, this time it went straight through Danny's bones.  

“My power?” Danny didn’t know how to answer that. Fat Gum was becoming more and more tense, he could feel it. Danny needed to answer soon, “I can go intangible.” That was the first power that Danny got, and so the first thing that came to mind.  

“Oh yeah? Show me.” The hero turned around fully, using his extra height to corner Danny, although there was plenty of space behind him. He had a playful smile on, but Danny knew it wasn’t real.

Danny knelt on the ground and stuck his arm through the cold concrete. He could feel how things interacted with his arm, nothing moved, but it was like he was able to feel the jagged outline of the rocks. Or maybe he thought he could feel it, so he did. Ectoplasm was weird like that.  

Fat Gum breathed in deeply.  

“Oh wow, that’s really something.” Fat Gum was trying to smile wider, “Nice quirk kid. Is there a time limit on that?” He cocked his head to the side, “Or are you able to breathe while going through stuff? Seems like an impressive quirk.” There was something unsaid, What are your weaknesses? 

Danny knew what this was. He had to get away.  

“I-” an explosion was heard and suddenly people all around were screaming. Danny’s core shook.  

Protect.  

The hero had turned around at the blast, shock and horror filled his face. In a blink, Danny turned invisible and flew off, not bothering to look back as the hero turned to look for him.  

★ 

People were screaming and running through the streets. Danny followed the noise into a little shopping district and saw a
. Well he wasn’t sure what he saw.

‘What the fuck are those things?’

There were two of them. One of them was a weird zombie creature with only half a face and the other, a weird skin bird-man-thing. They both had their brains sticking out of their heads like one of those sad goldfish.  

Danny’s throat started to itch and he felt his ghost sense almost recoil when he got closer. They weren’t dead, but they weren’t alive either, or not in the way that humans should be. Something was viscerally wrong with them, and it left a twisting sensation in Danny’s belly. It felt like when he met Dan or Elle for the first time but worse. These things shouldn’t exist. Danny swallowed the feeling and got even closer. 

They were attacking a group of heroes (anyone in a costume was a hero in this world) and the heroes were losing. Badly. They were being batted away like mosquitos. People still crowded around the area, either being frozen with fear or not fully understanding the danger yet. The only reason the creatures weren’t going after them is that they were being distracted by the heroes.

One of the things threw an empty bus at a hero–who surprisingly, did not die–and was knocked out cold. When it fell, an explosion blasted out and created a massive fire.  

A minotaur man ripped out a fire hydrant from the ground and threw it at one of those things. The impact did nothing. He kept yelling to another man who was talking to a kid. Oh no. A kid shouldn’t be anywhere near this.   

The hero sent the kid away–good–and started fucking waterbending the water from the hydrant for the big fire. The one with the wings kept fanning and spreading the fire. By the time he put the big one out, smaller ones would already be everywhere.  

Danny couldn’t watch anymore–he didn’t know how he could for so long. He didn’t know much about this world, but he knew they were outmatched. The one with wings swept towards a hero, its toes? claws? Ready to take him away.  

“Hey Bird-Brain! Go long!” Danny threw a ball of ice at it. It distracted it enough for the hero to get out of the way.  

It roared. Do birds roar? Is that the right noise? Maybe ‘shrieked’ is a better term.  

‘Not the time.’

Danny kept pelting its wing with ice. One huge chunk weighed it to the ground. That didn’t make it any less dangerous.  

“Get out of here kid,” said the hero who Danny just saved. Danny glared at him, and the hero shut up. Danny didn’t have time for that. Well he did not not have the time, but he didn’t want to deal with that right now. He circled around the bird thing, encasing it with ice. That should at least keep him busy.   

The minotaur was fighting the one missing half its face–what's a good name for that one? Baldy? Well, they both didn’t have hair–but it was clear he was at his limit for the amount of hits he could take. Baldy grabbed his arm and threw him into the hero putting out the fires. Neither of them got back up. Only one hero remained. 

Instead of continuing to rampage, Baldy noticed the people for the first time and went charging towards them. Danny was able to intersect its punch as the thing aimed at a dog-walker.  

It was the most anything Danny had felt in a while. All day and the one before, he was almost numb.  

Now. Now he felt alive.  

He was able to take all the attacks that the thing threw at him and return them ten-fold. He had to be careful of its hands though. It’s punches were hard, but just as quickly as Danny dodged a hit, it would try to grab him.  

“What hero is that?”

“I don’t know, I don’t recognize him.”  

“Maybe he’s an intern or new sidekick?”   

“Who’s his mentor?”  

“Didn’t Manual get a new intern?”   

“I don’t think that's him.”  

Danny couldn’t hear them. It grabbed hold of his arm and slammed him into the concrete. It left a crater and suddenly Danny felt nostalgic.  

The thing didn’t relent in its attacks. Danny was on his stomach and the thing kept hitting him in his back. He could hear screaming. His body felt like jelly, but now he was able to turn his torso around and create an ecto shield. 

With a break from the attacks, Danny was able to see the damage. His body was jelly. His waist was twisted around like a cloth being wrung out, and his legs were backwards from the rest of him. ‘Okay.’ That's a new development. He had seen other ghosts do it before, and had even done it one time himself, but he had to actively focus on contorting his body. This, however, was like a reflex. No. Less than that. It was like twisting his wrist or his torso. It was too natural.   

The thing was still hitting his shield and he could hear the bird thing start to destroy the ice. Danny had to end this fast.  

Danny sent his shield back and knocked Baldy away with a screech. His shield shattered and embedded itself in the thing's skin. Then it bled. Oh this, this Danny could work with.  

It was clear to Danny that whatever this thing was, ending it would be a mercy. It shouldn’t have existed in the first place. Anger and pain radiated off it as it continued it’s attack. 

‘Is that how the other ghosts looked at him?’ Danny wondered. 

It didn’t matter. This thing had to be put down. He coated his hands in ice in a make-shift gauntlet. They were thick and jagged with more weight than he wanted, but they would work just as well in any size. 

Danny didn’t let the thing recover as he started his volley on the creature’s flesh. Each hit was heavy and satisfying. It was like stabbing pencils in an orange. The result was the same. It lay there, twitching before Danny’s feet. It stopped after a moment, dead.

Holy shit that was a lot. 

Danny had never taken a life before. It didn’t leave a bitter feeling in the way he excepted it too. He felt a general unease, but not like he had done anything wrong. It was hurting and was going to hurt others. Danny simply stopped both of those from happening anymore. 

Danny didn’t have any time to grapple with what he had done further. Bird-Brain had escaped the ice and was starting to fly away. Danny chased after it, an ice blast under his skin, but it’s wings were fanning the still surrounding flames. Embers had landed on a tree and grass where a few people were hidden. Danny knelt down and pressed his palms on the ground. He sent a road of sleet towards the tree, and it traveled up the bark and coated it in an instant. That was also new. His ice was never that quick or long spread before. 

The people surrounding only had minor burns but stared at the tree with shock and awe on their faces.  

Right away he started icing down the smaller fires around him. The range of his ice had increased, and Danny realized he had yet to transform.

‘Was there anything to change into left?’  

In Danny’s haste to put out the smaller fires, he had completely neglected the initial one. It had gotten smaller as its fuel burned, but there was a leak that led towards a beer and liquor store.  

Danny felt a swell of heat on his back. The fire had just entered the door and was already eating the shelves. It would only be a moment until it would explode out.  

With a deep inhale that he didn’t need, Danny’s hands started to glow brighter than before. ‘It should be fine. Ecto-ice isn’t made out of water, nothing bad should happen.’  

Danny jinxed it. Something bad happened.  

Before he was able to ice down the fire, a blast rocketed out. Using the already built up energy in his hands, he created a dome of ice. Everyone was so scattered out that it wouldn’t be big enough. Danny would be fine, he survived way worse, but the people behind him would get hurt.

The blast was getting closer, but Danny’s attention was on how his ice was still spreading and forming. He saw in slow motion how it was able to cover the whole two-lane street. Everyone was okay.   

Dust and light debris blew away and settled peacefully as a chill filled the air. Danny couldn’t feel it. He could only feel the sharp eyes of the heroes and civilians alike watching him. Their mouths were dropped. They were looking at him like he was a monster. A freak. And Danny was. It's what he always was.  

For so long he thought it was only just powers, that he wasn’t anything more or anything less than what Spectra said. Just a creepy boy with creepy powers. How could you accept that you weren’t human anymore? How could you accept that you had died? 

It was little things at first. He didn’t get cold, food didn’t taste the same, he had to remind his feet to touch the ground, and there were moments where he couldn’t feel anything physical at all.

The big event was when he fell asleep in class. Mr. Lancer had made a sarcastic remark about Danny not paying attention, but he didn’t respond. It grew into concern when he stepped closer. Apparently, Danny wasn’t breathing and he didn’t have a pulse. He woke up later when his ghost sense went off at the hospital. He was in the body bag.   

‘A ghost trying to fit in with humans,’ rang out in his head.  

That's all he was. No more. No less.   

But even that wasn’t true anymore. Now there was no hiding behind his human body. He had felt it when he died in the fight with Pariah, like a cord snapping. He was just glad he wasn’t alone
 

Danny was starting to spiral. It would be so easy to test it, to see if he had even an inkling of human left in him. All he needed to do was transform
 

A teen stepped closer to him. Danny backed away from the movement. The teen looked at Danny. He could see frost on the boy’s breath. His face filled with resolve and suddenly the boy bowed deeply.  

“Thank you for saving us!” That seemed to spark everyone around him and more and more ‘thank yous’ were heard. 

“Thank you so much!” One woman with soot on her face yelled. 

“I was on my way home when that thing attacked. I would have never seen my husband again” Said a man.  

Danny was shocked. No one had ever thanked him so publicly. It had always been teens in private or notes left around his frequent spots. He grabbed at his chest, his core pounded harder and harder with every new voice.  

More and more people came up to him and some even shook his hand. His vision was starting to get blurry. Why did someone saying thank him make him feel like this? 

As if on cue, more heroes arrived on the scene with fire trucks and paramedics.  

Everyone was okay.

Word Count: 1523

Only blackness surrounded Danny, it’s tethers wrapping around his body and pulling him down into nothingness. He could do nothing, still too tired and heavy from the fight as it ate him whole. He felt it all around him, but also felt nothing.  

No pain. No fear. No sadness.  

It hummed around him, shaking everything inside it. Danny stopped fighting and let go. The Nothing felt nice. Everything had finally stopped. Danny no longer had a body–or maybe this was his body? He could no longer tell. What was certain is that he was no longer anything at all. He was nothing. The void seemed to understand his acceptance and it held him closer. It felt like a mother’s hug. Something shifted within and warmth radiated everywhere. It crept in and he felt strength filling his limp body. But the Nothing was strong. It closed his eyes and held him, whispering empty words of sleep and rest. Danny listened, unable to do anything else, not that he would. 

He was no longer aware of what was happening to himself. He was no longer aware at all. He just was.  

Time was moving too fast or too slow. It didn’t exist. But something changed. 

White started to seep out from the black, slowly spreading like glue and sticking all over. It reached wherever Danny existed, and it finally started to wrap around him too. It was cold, but Danny didn’t feel like he was in danger. It crept up his body, flowing into every vein, weaving through every muscle. Then it reached his eyes and
 

Danny woke up.  

He shot up from the green sheets that encased him. Everything felt too much and too sudden. He breathed in deeply, but no air came in or out. He rubbed his head, confusion swirling around. He couldn’t remember what happened. Everything was far away and hazy, like waking up with a dream still fresh in your mind. He didn’t know how long his eyes were open until he finally processed what he was seeing. He recognized the green of the Ghost Zone, how everything was blurry at the edges, like they were trying to remember what they were supposed to be.  

His memory hit him like a bucket of cold water.  

He had fought Pariah Dark. 

He had won. 

Sam, Tucker, Jazz sitting around him. 

He died in their arms. 

This wasn’t right.  

He Shouldn’t be here! Danny ran through the halls of the Keep. He was deeper than he was last time. Was it yesterday? Everything was still hazy. Things looked different in the Keep too. It had the same green candles and medieval flare, but it wasn’t as dark and oppressive as when he first entered. The air (if the Ghost Zone even had air) felt lighter. Like it welcomed him.

Danny didn’t know how he was still alive. Was he alive? He didn’t feel alive, but he also didn’t feel dead? He felt energized! Like if you got stabbed and the adrenaline kicks in. Almost alive, but not for long. He was ready to die, and gladly did so, he was at peace with that. He had plenty of time to mourn his own death after the accident. He didn’t want to go, but he accepted it, like dying in a plane crash but not having it any other way.  

Danny just didn’t expect to wake up is all.  

Ghost Zone physics didn’t help his confusion. He ran through room to room as easily as a human could in the Realm. It felt so natural. That he was supposed to be alive. Was he? Or maybe his fucked up biology carried over to his ‘after life’. 

He was a freak as a human and as a ghost.  

After ceaselessly running, Danny made it to a familiar unfamiliar room. He made his way through the throne room, slow and quiet in his steps. The gentle glow of the Ghost Zone shown through what were once barred windows, were now stained-glass windows. Each one depicted a different story or legend that he didn’t know, but he did recognize a few of the figures like Frostbite and Pandora. His eyes traveled up the walls to the ceiling where the most elaborate piece was displayed. His mouth was open in awe and confusion. It depicted a constellation forming a figure eerily similar to his own, wearing a crown. He knew deep down, it wasn’t a coincidence. Danny knew who it was but didn’t let it crawl to the surface. 

The multicolored glow from the skylight traveled down and danced atop the throne like motes. It wasn’t made of bones like before but was finely sculpted out of metal and ice. On the soft looking green cushion, lay the Crown. It sat there like a sleeping cat in a sunbeam. As if it were that harmless.  

Displayed behind the throne was the sarcophagus, like Pariah Dark could crack it open to whisper corrupting thoughts in its occupants ear.  

Danny's spine went rigid. Being in the room set off every human instinct still in him to leave, or maybe even ghost, the memory of the King could not be so easily forgotten. But something pulled his core along, like a finger wrapping around a string. It wasn’t him. But it was. He walked closer and closer to the throne. He was possessing himself. His numb hands reached out to the crown. When his fingers kissed the metal, he felt the same shock he did when he died. Danny collapsed.  

When Danny opened his eyes again, the crown was gone. His left arm felt sore and itchy in his veins. He could feel his Lichtenberg scar burn under his hazmat suit, no doubt red and angry. He scratched over them, the sensation traveling upward, deep in his veins. Danny stared back at the throne, still clutching his arm, afraid to turn his back on it anymore. He backed towards the door, slowly, like moving too fast would cause something to leap out and devour him.  

He backed into something hard. The soft clanging of metal rang out as Danny turned to make eye contact with the Dark Knight. Neither of them moved for a moment as they stared each other down. Fright Knight’s form shifted, and Danny jumped back into a fighting stance, an ecto-blast burning under his skin. Fright Knight did not falter. In one swift motion
he bowed. His head down and a hand over to his once beating heart.  

Danny couldn’t handle this. Everything was moving too fast, and the walls were getting closer and closer. He ran past the knight. His Knight, something whispered.  

He had to get home.

When Danny made it outside the Keep, he didn’t hesitate to fly away. He felt lighter, no longer under the oppressive atmosphere of the castle (even if a part of him felt relaxed in the dark halls). He looked back, only once. A part of him wanted to return, to go back to the throne room and put on the...Danny shook himself out of the thought. Must be a ghost thing.  

His ghostly form felt different. He was lighter and able to fly faster than he was before. All things to think about later.  

The Ghost Zone was constantly shifting, but Danny was able to feel where he was supposed to go. It hadn’t always been like that, every ghost knew their way around the Realms, despite it always moving. It wasn’t as obvious to him when he first ‘died’. He had to rely on other means like the spectral speeder or infi-map until he could recognize the patterns (even that wasn’t perfect). From what he could tell, Vlad had similar issues, although he was too proud to admit it. But now? Now Danny knew where to go. It wasn’t a guess or a gut feeling, but if someone had just asked him where his bedroom was.  

He could feel the Ghost Zone now, too. His fingers felt the wisps of the realm flow through them like it was a stream going around rocks. He could feel how the Zone breathed and moved, like it was rolling around in its sleep. Had the other ghosts felt this too? He felt like it was a part of himself, his core humming with the melodic rise and fall of the Zone.  

(Maybe it was humming with him). 

His flying slowed as he calmed down. He had never felt so at peace before. Not at home or otherwise. It was easy to get distracted, to just float along the current of existence here.  

But he couldn’t.  

He didn’t know how long he was dead asleep for. He had to get home. To see Sam and Tucker and Jazz. To make sure everyone was still safe.  

The Ghost Zone seemed to nod to him. He felt something shift in front of him. There was no portal, just a light behind a crack. Slowly, he dug his fingers in and ripped it apart like saran wrap. He could hear cars and the bustle of a city beyond.  He was going home.
